Spring is here!

Tomorrow is May, and spring is here! Weather is usually 10 degrees maybe more during the afternoon, and the sun is up until 7.30 pm. Nathan is doing some cleaning work at our apartment block for the next week or so which is keeping him very busy, and he is trying to do his audio course at night.
No new news about our house, except that we are working at getting the brickwork and a door-frame fixed ASAP.
We are currently looking for a new place to live come the end of May. We have a few leads and are asking around at the moment. We are looking forward to a bigger place!
On Sunday we had a baby shower/bbq which was heaps of fun, hosted by our friends Danielle and Tyler. It was guys and girls, and we had some fun with a role-playing game of getting to the hospital (girls playing the guys and vice versa).
I'm still healthy, getting bigger of course. Some afternoons I'm feeling pretty tired, so I may be back to having afternoon naps before too long. 11 weeks to go!

Nearly end of the year!

Nathan finishes next Thursday - his first year at Regent completed already! He handed in his paper on Exodus and Liberation today, and has 3 exams next week. After that, he will concentrate on finishing his New Testament audio course as well as probably looking for a summer job.

I won some free classes at a gym, and did my first one today. There wasn't a lot of choice of classes, so I ended up doing a class called "Group Power" which uses weights to work on the different muscle groups. So my arms are sore! I did feel a little weird starting a class at 6 months pregnant, but oh well, better now than 8 months I guess! I just used the lowest weights possible, and the instructor modified some exercises for me to compensate for my extra 'baggage' and the change in my muscles and balance.

The weather has been getting a little warmer (when the sun is out). Today I took my gym class outside and I didn't need a jumper! Yay! I was in direct sunlight and sheltered from breezes, but it was so nice. Nathan jumped at the chance to do some study outside in the sun. It's 7.30pm and the sun is starting to set. The cherry blossom trees are all in bloom and are gorgeous. So we hope spring really is here to stay.

We're still trying to organise our house back home at the moment, but we need to wait on some quotes/reports before we make any more decisions. We've really been seeing God provide for us financially, and we are so thankful for his care and for the peace he has given us.

Happy April Fools

Today is April Fools day and the day I start back to work. 12.5 weeks to go til school is finished for summer break (leaving me about 3 weeks til my due date). Nathan has 3 weeks left til his finals are done, then will continue on with his audio course and one spring course til June. We had 'freak' snow/hail on the weekend (as in it took everyone by surprise), but hopefully there will be sunny days and slightly warmer weather this week. I have been lent some nice maternity clothes which is great, so I will have something to wear to work when it does warm up a little. Speaking of work, I really should go! We are still trying to get our laptop back from getting fixed under warranty, it seems to be taking a long time.
